This vacation house is designed by UK based architect ROEWUarchitecuture, completed recently for an extended family, located in Ilan, Taiwan. In Taiwan, security for the building's occupants is generally provided by adding metal enclosure to every window. But here is where the ROEWUarchitecuture came up with an interesting concept: a variable screen of bamboos. As this is located in a dense urban area and has party walls on two sides, the house gains light and air through its street, and the bamboo screen was the perfect choice as it provided both privacy and security for the building's occupants.
